    02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete

    Canadian expat was shot while helping students that were being robbed home invasion.... a group of students that arrived in POP the day before to church work at Dominican orphanage were staying at a housing complex... sleeping 4 to a room...were awakened by armed robbers...the expat area business man who was helping with the trip was shot 9 times...as of the last Canadian news report he was still alive...

    SO MUCH FOR TOURIST BUSINESS.....

    THEY PULLED THE KIDS OUT...MOST OF THEM...ONE OF THE STUDENTS WAS SHOT TOO..
    Just another monger!!

    Change the headline to Shooting in Cabarete. His name is Les. Been a friend of mine for over a decade. He is in ICU at Cabarete Medical Center. Condition critical but stable.

    The sad part is no one here is surprised by this. Most of the poor Dominicans are in a state of desperation. They are at the point where they will do anything to eat. I don't understand how ex-pat's continue to live there. But I guess it's hard to leave if you have so much of your life invested in the place.

    Les is out of ICU and in a regular room so I guess that is a good sign.

    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    Somebody should set up a fund for him.

    First of all, he was helping do gods work. Not only did spring into action like a superhero, he wacked that fuckin bastard upside his head, he put him to sleep, when he did get hit, he kept coming! And when he hit the floor, he tried with all his might to get up!

    Thats a mans man right there.

    Les should be leaving after he recuperates... I remember the Dutch guy defending himself and shooting a robber a few years back.. wonder how that turned out in the end.

    Sorry to hear about your friend having to go through this terrible ordeal Willie, but he sure looks like a tough guy not to mention a Hero for trying to stop these pieces of garbage.
    .. Hope he makes a speedy and full recovery..
    And hope they catch the 2 dudes and show them a little justice, Dominican style..
